I thought we'd all had the discussion about creative gift-giving: The CD case with your car key you gave Mike was sweet, think along those lines, Mikey. For our last anniversary, Donovan got me this leather writing box that I'd lusted after, a quill pen and an ink well, then he told me what a wonderful writer he thinks I am. Pick something that Katie likes to do, or something that she reasoned not to spend money on herself for. Chances are, there's a lot of stuff she sees in stores that she doesn't buy because she doesn't need it. If you payed attention and got her one of those things, the thoughtfulness itself would maker her really happy. It would be something that she wouldn't buy for herself, but wants to get.
exactly! I don't want to hand in a shopping list. His gift should be thoughtful and sweet. I think the best gift he ever gave me was when we were dating 6 months..... a turtle ring wrapped with a beautiful bow and fastened with a pretty turtle pin (cause I like turtles) and a Wallace and Grommit pop-up book (because we watched one of those movies on a date). Simple and romantic.
